It is narrated from a freed slave of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) led the funeral prayer of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said four takbirs in it.

It is narrated from Isma'il bin Abd al-Rahman that Abd al-Rahman bin Muljam al-Muradi fell in love with a Kharijite woman named Qatam from the tribe of Taym al-Rabab. He married her, and her dowry was fixed as three thousand dirhams and the killing of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Concerning this, al-Farazdaq said (in his verses): "I have never seen a dowry given by any generous man like the dowry of Qatam, perfectly plain: three thousand dirhams, a slave, a slave girl, and striking Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) with the sharp sword. So there is no dowry dearer than the blood of Ali, however great it may be, and there is no treacherous deed like the blow of Ibn Muljam."

It is narrated from Imam al-Sha'bi that when Ibn Muljam struck Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that blow, he made a bequest, saying: "He has struck me, so treat him well and keep his bedding soft. Then, if I live, it will be my right to forgive or to take retaliation (qisas); and if I die, then send him (by killing him) to join me, and I will bring my case against him before my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic."

It is narrated from Abu Tihya that when they seized Ibn Muljam and brought him to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "Do with him what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did with the man who intended to kill him (peace and blessings be upon him); he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be killed and burned with fire."

It is narrated from Abu Ishaq al-Hamdani that he said: "I saw the killer of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) being burned with fire among the spear-bearers."
